  A vehicle for an active lifestyle - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By supereks - January 8 - 6:50 am

  I bought one of the first vehicles that made it over the Atlantic in late 2001. Just returned from another trip to the New England mountains in the winter. The Freelander is an all- weather vehicle that feels safe in all conditions as long as the tires are new or relatively little worn. Would not try to climb any rocks with this little SUV, but any kind of mud, snow or even shallow water is no obstacle. Strongly recommend rubber floor mats, trunk plastic cover and covers for seats. The vehicle has its problems with quality of manufacturing/reliability (numerous problems were minor, only one left it immobile for a prolonged period due to a problem with delivery of a specific spare part).

  Good Little Rover - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Unforgiven82 - January 8 - 6:46 am

  I must say that the 03 Freelander is a great little car. With regular maintenance and checking of the fluids we have not had a bit of problems with it. Remember to check the water monthly, it runs quite abit hotter than the normal American Brands. We have not had any problems with ours it currently has 84,000 miles on it, and no major problems besides regular maintenance. Note that Land rover did Recall the fuel module and a stop light sensor and replaced/is required to have them replaced free of charge to us. Great Sporty little car! Ensure that dealer fully informs the buyer of the dos and donts. Dealers like their money/mechanical fees so be sure to ask your questions before buying.

  Cant understand all the frustration - 2003 Land Rover Freelander
  By Learn How to Drive - December 14 - 5:23 pm

  I just thought I should give my 2 cents about this car. Everyone on here must not know how to maintain a vehicle because even after buying mine used with 58,000 miles, I havent had any unexpected problems. People need to understand that this is a foreign, luxury SUV and requires more driver knowledge. You cant just put gas in it and expect it to maintain itself. I check the fluids every other week and change the oil every 3000 miles. Gas mileage is decent for an SUV of this age. Yes, parts are a bit more expensive but this is expected with any foreign vehicle. Personally, I think this is a safe, fun, and reliable vehicle that I am very proud to own.

  owner - 2005 Land Rover Freelander
  By S Tidline - November 5 - 12:23 pm

  I have a 2003 Freelander. I love the vehicle. I had a Discovery and sold it because it was too big and cost too much to maintain. The Freelander drives very smooth. It is comfortable and really nice. The other great thing about this car vs. the DIscovery is is use 87 grade unleaded gas! I love the car and hope to only upgrade to a later model one day!

  Got Gotten! - 2005 Land Rover Freelander
  By Bubbles - November 4 - 3:13 pm

  This is the first car I financed in order to buy this car last minute, I had to scramble to get it. Within the same month of buying it, I had 2 take it back to the dealership because the car wouldnt start, they fixed it then couple of weeks later the temp gauge started lighting up. They looked at it 2x, first stating coolant level down, then claiming the cap containing coolant needed to be replaced, now after 2 wks temp gauge still light red. I then took it to Land Rover dealer and they also recommended engine replacement to the tune of $10k. I was shocked, depressed, and felt like someone just really took advantage of me. I GOT GOTTEN!!

  My Freelander02 - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Oscar Rios - November 4 - 2:00 am

  This is a Premium SUV in all aspects, however it can take a lot of gas if you dont change those spark plugs yearly. the sound system is awsome and the offroad capability is remarkable i love it. parts are hard to find most of the breaks and other suff are dealer items you can find them in exclusive auto parts. have fun with your landrover!

  Multiple Problems - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By jmiddleton - November 4 - 2:00 am

  The day I bought the car the problems began. I have had problems with the gas gauge reading empty when it wasnt. One day the engine coolant container desided to break for no reason at all and smoke up my engine. I havent taken it off roading because I am afraid it is going to break down on me. The dealer told me that it is usual for the breaks to go out at about 15000 miles. I have had warning lights come one multiple times for no reason. And the list goes on.

  Looks good! - 2002 Land Rover Freelander
  By Bettycat - November 2 - 10:00 am

  Love the looks & feels good inside. A good chicks car. The driver needs an arm rest, the engine needs more power, the upgraded stereo sucks. The rear passenge windows only go down half way. ( but I do love the vehicle anyway ) Looks DO matter!
